# Lukashenko's Potash Long-Term Construction: From Chinese Loan to Search for a US Buyer

> Construction of the Nezhin potash mining and processing complex in Belarus has run for about 10 years and is far behind its original 2022 launch target.

## Why it matters

Delays at Nezhin keep Belarusian potash supply constrained, which limits any new sanctions-free volumes reaching global markets. Any eventual sale or restart would be a medium-term factor for potash prices rather than an immediate one.
